Washington Nationals

When word started spreading this week that Revolution Live owner Jeff John was looking to use his downtown Fort Lauderdale stages to help raise money for families who lost loved ones in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, guitarist Jason Bieler of iconic Miami rockers Saigon Kick got to work.

Not only did he round up his old band — including Matt Kramer, Phil Varone and Stephen Gibb — for the all-ages Friday night benefit, he worked with John to help line up a broad spectrum of acts that continues to grow each day, with pop star Austin Mahone and L.A. pop-rap duo Jack and Jack the latest to be added.
